So I have both a relatively old PDA (Sony Clie SG-20, uses Palm as the OS) and a 30GB photo iPod. I want to have my list of books I own and my knitting inventory on me in a format that is reasonably portable and easily updated with a somewhat older Mac. I currently have Word files for these, and the whole "go-through-the-paper-list-and-print-out-inventory-and-update-by-hand-and-retype-into-computer" is getting really old. I estimate that I have about a metric Bryant total (1000) when I combine all my books, knitting magazines, and patterns. I have a knitting program on the PDA that I don't really use right now think it's called KnitAble or something like that ...

The options I think I have are:
1) Use the Clie a) get a MemoryStick(TM) to put into the Clie so I can store the Word files on it b) pay for the knitting program so I can use the Clie
2) Use the iPod, and store the Word files as some sort of text
3) new electronic gadget (prefer not to if can avoid it, saving $ to replace computers dating back to 2001 once Leopard comes out)

I may want to migrate to using the PDA/iPod as my organizer at some point (instead of the paper one dating back to law school)

Also, does anyone know if LibraryThing users can print out a list or save an electronic version of their "books owned" list? If so, I might spend the money to get a LibraryThing account and their bar coder....
